Internet Radio Potential

This is the Full Experience of Chris Jones Internet Radio Potential!

The Following regarding Internet Radio Potential is from Forbes – Author David Porter

Internet Radio potential can be the most ubiquitous form of media ever. More commanding of your attention than film, television, or books. This is because listening to music can be enjoyed while doing other activities. Furthermore, here is an important distinction: there are two types of listeners, lean back and lean forward. Lean back listeners hear music programming via a playlist or radio station (think “set it and forget it”), whereas lean forward listeners actively select individual songs. The majority of people prefer a lean back experience.

Apps

In 2014, one third of Americans used their phones to stream music. Young adults (18-24) listened to internet radio more than terrestrial. Two of the top five most popular apps in America (Pandora and Youtube) are used for streaming music. With Americans now spending more time on their phones than watching television, there has never been a more opportune time to maximize internet radio experiences.

Many Listeners

I have the pleasure (and when I say pleasure I mean it does not feel like work) of programming a widely listened to Internet Radio Station. You may be hearing it now, just as you came upon this page. The idea is to get your Product or Service heard by the Internet Masses. The flow of the radio station consists of my personal favorites, of which I am sure many of them are your favorites as well. The tunes range from the 50s on up through the years, in a loose chronological order.

Personality

This is not just endless music. For many years I worked in radio as a professional, programming the music and announcing the news, etc. It was a lot of fun, but I chose a different path as things progressed. There was always a vision of how I wanted a radio station to sound. I rarely heard it, until now. You’ll like how this sounds. Please give it a listen and Thank You.

Story

I began broadcasting on a College Radio Station at SUNY Plattsburgh (NY, USA) in 1979, and was a professional broadcaster until 1993 when my life went a different way. Once that Radio bug hit, I was infected forever. This radio station features 50 years of personal favorites; tunes with energy and passion!

With years of experience under my belt, you won’t find a more qualified, dignified or electrified person to throw down the music and personality for your ears. I present, for your listening entertainment, 50 years of Personal Favorites, sprinkled with bits of Personality and Fun. The playlist is evolving and expanding. This Radio Station is a Labour of Love with a playlist that can take you through your workday without a repeat. I am having much fun with this, and would love some feedback.

Radio History

In 1979-1980 I was an aspiring radio announcer at the Plattsburgh State University College radio station called WPLT (different now). I spent some time on Campus perfecting my craft, and after a while I decided that an actual job in radio was what I was after. It was in April 1980 that Gordie Little at WIRY 1340am must have seen something in me, and I was hired at WIRY. This was an awesome thing for me, as Gordie’s guidance was the catalyst that kept me going in radio for a very long time after I had left Plattsburgh. The man was a gem, the purest human being you’d ever want to meet. His style of radio inspired me. The way he communicated with everyone, on and off the radio, was inspiring and formed the basis of how I went from radio into sales, and how I still communicate with people on a daily basis. I consider myself lucky and blessed to have known Gordie Little. Gordie Passed on 22 June, 2016. Rest In Peace.

Other Places

I stayed at WIRY in Plattsburgh until sometime in 1981 there were aspirations to check out other markets, namely Burlington, Vermont. Employment was secured at WJOY 1230am, where some good friends were made. In 1983 another move was in order, back across Lake Champlain, down the lake a bit, into Ticonderoga NY. In Ticonderoga I did some work on two different radio stations, an AM and an FM. That was fun until about 1984 when I found myself down in Glens Falls NY at WWSC 1450am, where a professional by the name of Dave Covey taught me a few things about how radio is done. WWSC was a lot like WIRY in that they were/are both hometown radio stations, broadcasting at 1000 watts of power, in their respective markets. I stayed in the Glens Falls NY radio market until about 1993, having then got into sales.

Time Marches On

The radio bug has never left me, lol. For the longest time I programmed an Internet Radio station at Live365, now defunct since 1 Feb., 2016. As of this post, I am programming an online station that you can access on our Home Page Here! I present to ypu my personal favorites, which will be alive for a long time or longer, lol.
